People are bagging hard on the film (based on nothing but the trailer) but given that it’s Duncan Jones behind it, I have full faith.

It’s really only an issue if you pre-order for the wrong reasons, like pre-order incentives made up by the publisher.

joking aside I do see a lot of complaints about not being able to afford things and that age group ends up being around late teens early twenties and thats a huge demographic of gamers.

I thought you meant downgraded them graphically. you should use the term nerf instead.

Applicable to the views discussed in the article and the views probably coming in the comments.

I do spend time with my family. I happen to like playing games too.. tired of seeing this excuse all the time.. its not like I wanna talk with them all the time . maybe I got a new game I wanna try out too

He used to play fallout, till he took a Sonata to the knee.

Exactly $0, and will never drop a single cent on the matter of principle, as I had spent close to $200 on Destiny before they introduced microtransactions.

The fact that they’ve added them to this game I find insulting, and has cheapened my experience since their addition. I was fine with dances, dances affected…

“...Oh shit! I knew I forgot something!”

Sounds similar to how Bungie didn’t want people to consider Destiny an MMO-shooter and instead used all these awkward buzzwords and vague descriptors to try and pique people’s interests in their new endeavour, but ultimately left everyone confused as to what to expect.

I love Assassin’s Creed. I know exactly what I’m getting- 20-30 hours of content in a lovingly recreated city, with decent combat, a decent story and some average progression mechanisms. That’s more than one gets from most games these days.

Good points, and I’m glad for once someone considered that there are gamer parents out there.

I’ve personally hit the point in my life where I have to start asking “Do I play enough to justify a new system”? And I think that is a demograph that needs analysis, “gamers gone off to pasture”. Certainly I still pick up a…

The people who compain about a $350 console are the same that go out and buy a new phone every 6 months.

PS3 and 360 were way more expensive at launch.

I can understand the sentiment, as a console is pure luxury purchase. You aren’t going to use it to take notes in class or complete important projects. It can be hard to rationalize spending that much on what is considered a “toy” in the eyes of some.

In comparison to past consoles and if you adjust say the past 30 years of consoles before 2000-2005 era for inflation, the current (and to a degree, last) generation consoles have been some of the cheapest they have ever been. Even doubly and more so when you consider that modern consoles are in themselves complete…

Got Black Ops 3 for free with the 1TB Xbox One Holidy bundle. Weird how it was unadvertised at Gamestop. Totally worth it since it’s the same price as buying the 500GB version with the game. It was either this or buying another Xbox 360 controller since the thumb button breaks all the time.

The thing with consoles is the extended lifecycle nowadays.

It all really started with the PS1. You’re now getting 10, 11 years of new game development out of a console. Worked out over time, the console price is not a bad price of entry, especially if one waits a bit after initial release.

Yes, you can upgrade your PC…
